In the Arab world, LLM adoption has grown rapidly with both globally dominant platforms and regional ones like Fanar and Jais offering Arabic\u2013specific solutions. This highlights the need for culturally and linguistically relevant scales to accurately measure attitudes toward LLMs in the region. Tools assessing attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI) can provide a base for measuring attitudes specific to LLMs. The 5\u2013item Attitudes Toward Artificial Intelligence (ATAI) scale, which measures two dimensions, the AI Fear and the AI Acceptance, has been recently adopted and adapted to develop new instruments in English using a sample from the UK: the Attitudes Toward General LLMs (AT\u2013GLLM) and Attitudes Toward Primary LLM (AT\u2013PLLM) scales. In this paper, we translate the two scales, AT\u2013GLLM and AT\u2013PLLM, and validate them using a sample of 249 Arabic\u2013speaking adults. The results show that the scale, translated into Arabic, is a reliable and valid tool that can be used for the Arab population and language. Psychometric analyses confirmed a two\u2013factor structure, strong measurement invariance across genders, and good internal reliability (Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1 ranged between .67 and .75). The scales also demonstrated strong convergent and discriminant validity. Our scales will support research in a non\u2013Western context, a much\u2013needed effort to help draw a global picture of LLM perceptions and will also facilitate localized research and policy\u2013making in the Arab region.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s42979-026-04855-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,20]],"date-time":"2026-05-20T06:47:21Z","timestamp":1779259641000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Developing and Validating the Arabic Version of the Attitudes Toward Large Language Models Scale"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Basad","family":"Barajeeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ala","family":"Yankouskaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sameha","family":"AlShakhsi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chun Sing Maxwell","family":"Ho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guandong","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5285-7829","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raian","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,20]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"4855_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12909-024-06452-5","volume":"24","author":"O Al Omari","year":"2024","unstructured":"Al Omari O, Alshammari M, Al Jabri W, Al Yahyaei A, Aljohani KA, Sanad HM, et al.
